i was wondering if anyone knew the best lube to grease up my slides and bolt carrier for not to expensive

Any good lubricant such as Remoil or CLP is just fine, you could also use any synthetic motor oil, or axle grease or lube grease for long term storage!
However my all time favorit is Outers Choke Tube and Gun Lube, which a semi thick grease which i wipe on with a small patch and apply to rails and other heavy use areas with a Qtip, it is also great for metal protection since it does not run!
But any type of grease for metal is fine!

I like tetra gun grease

Since youre asking about cheap gun products, instead of spending $8.00 for a can of Gunscrubber, you can buy a can of carburetor cleaner for about $2.00 and works just as good! But both of these can actally melt certain types of plastic, so they came out with synthetic Gun scrubber! But all 3 of those can and will take the paint off from certain type of very expensive guns such as Arsenals and others which have an original military finish on them!
On these only use regular CLP not the scrubber version!
If you shoot corrosive ammo, the best thing is to shoot 5 rounds of non-corr. right afterwards and that gets rid of 90% of any corr. residue and then use hot soapy water or spray barrel with windex with ammonia and then clean really good !

You mean you actually have to lube an AK?

A LIGHT amount of oil is just fine.

I amazes me the absurd amount of oil and grease most people slather on their firearms.

-myers

was using remoil but it takes the finish off all the inside parts

Strange, i never had a problem with it, but i now just remembered reading last month where someone has the same problem with rem-oil!
On what type of gun is this, but realize that on some guns, like a WASR or VZ58 or a Arsenal, where the magwell hs been opened,to take a high-cap, they will spray the inside with paint to look nice, but this paint will slowly flake off, and there isnt anything you can do about that happening, just mag. insertion will cause flakes to come off!

I like this stuff and if you buy two he says he sends two to the troops....http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/e...%3AIT&viewitem=

I did find the thread about Remoil and it is exactly what i tell you in my previous thread! I also have bought recently a Arsenal SLR 107 FR and it has original Military paint and in the manual its says, not to use anything but CLR! However
some folks who have them say the paint is flaking by itself when they get the guns, the only thing you can do is have the gun parked or use some cold-blue on it!

On NON painted guns synthetic trans fluid works very well.
Personally I don't feel AKs require much if any lube except a dab on bolt/extractor.
A dab of HEAVY grease on the underside of bolt carrier kills most of the friction between carrier and hammer.

Quaker State 10W-30 works good.

STP,,,,,the racers edge!

wheel bearing grease....$3 at walmart

I think SPARKMASTER 123 is wanting to know, what if anything he can do to keep the paint from flaking on the inside of receiver!
To which there isnt a solution unless a new park job or to cold-blue the inside!

Mobil 1 5W30 MG's seem to run just fine with it Hot Or Cold...

Spit......
sorry, I forgot this was the AK forum ; P

It's an AK, any slippery substance will do. Remoil, Tetra, Quaker State, STP, Grease, The Blood of Capitalist Pigs, etc.

rem oil is CLP.

I use garand grease for my guns. it works fine, but it smells sooooooooo good.

Hello Sparky! Wear and tear on any AK is normal, mainly on the mag. release,mag-well,rails and some internal parts and or bolt-carrier and charging handle, if it is also blued/parked!
A Wasr is phosphate over blue, and on all new ones the phos. is scratched all to hell! You can degrease the trouble-some parts and apply blue with a Q-tip which will help or have the gun parked and then Gunkoted, which runs around $250. anything will run over $150.
This is normal and the same happen even on ARs!
Best wishes, and keep us updated and if you want to know anything else, please just ask! Thanks, James

This is the best I have ever used. Last forever.

I have started using "Lubriplate 105" white lithum grease on the rails and bolt carrier. It is used for motor rebuilding to protect a new engine. Just a little one the finger tip or use a cotton swab. Put some in a pill bottle and put in my range bag. CLP for the smaler parts.

If you guy's have never used Slip-2000 you really need to try it! www.slip2000.com This is in my opinion the best lubricant I have ever used. A tiny 1 oz. bottle cost around $3.50. I have a bottle I bought 2 years ago and it is still half full, that is how little of the stuff it takes to run your weapons. On average I clean and lube 3 gun's per week.

For cleaning I use the homemade concoction called Ed's Red. Extremely cheap to make for the amount you get. I have 1/2 a gallon, the first I ever made, and will not have to mix anymore for years to come, But you have to store it in glass or metal containers. This in my opinion is the best CLR out there. But opinions are like....Well you know!
